William Comyns Beaumont, also known as Comyns Beaumont and Appian Way (17 October 1873 – 30 December 1955),[1][2] was a British author, journalist, lecturer, and editor. Beaumont was a staff writer for the Daily Mail[2] and eventually became editor of the Bystander in 1903[3][4] and then The Graphic in 1932.[5]
Beaumont's astronomical speculations were later mirrored by Immanuel Velikovsky's works.
Family
Beaumont was the paternal uncle of the British actress Muriel Beaumont, the mother of writers Angela du Maurier and Daphne du Maurier, and the painter Jeanne du Maurier.
Theories
Beaumont accepted the existence of giants based on British folklore, and argued other mythological creatures were actually real.[6]
In Facts and Fallacies (1988) published by Reader's Digest, Beaumont's views are summarized:
He was also a proponent of the Shakespeare authorship question, arguing Shakespeare's plays were written by Francis Bacon.
